Our farming journey actually began with the discovery of our second born having food allergies at just two months old and then later our third having nut allergies. A little research quickly led to the eye opening realization of our deeply broken food system. Our family started paying attention to how food affected our stomach and the connection between processed food and sickness/digestive issues.

We soon realized that in order to be able to trust and afford food that was fresh and nutritious, we’d have to grow it ourselves. We started a few square foot gardens in 2014 and began raising some backyard chickens in 2015. In 2018 we moved to our sweet town of Bucksport where we could have a homestead and raise more of our own food. We have learned and failed and researched some more over the years as we’ve expanded our gardens and slowly our animal production.

My wife and I are blessed with 6 kids with one on the way. We are driven daily to raise nourishing food for our family that honors and mimics the patterns the Lord has created in nature. We believe this is what allows food to be successfully grown for years to come and also supports our bodies the way its Creator intended it to. More recently we have a growing desire to grow food for our surrounding community. We are excited for more people to invest in real nourishing foods that also supports the local food system.
